In 1994, Colonel McSally became the first woman to fly a combat mission and in 2006 the first to lead a combat squadron. She also made headlines in 2002 when she successfully challenged a Department of Defense policy requiring female service members to wear traditional Islamic overgarments when off-base in Saudi Arabia.

Colonel McSally is a contributor to the May 2007 issue of the Duke Journal of Gender Law & Policy entitled “Gender, Sexuality & the Military.”
